I usually avoid books about writers/writing the same way that I avoid songs about the process of songwriting. I find they become too self-referential.

One book I do enjoy though is The Hippopotamus by Stephen Fry. A main character is a poet and the narrator is a writer, I think.

At Swim Two Birds by Flann O'Brien is another favourite. It has a book within a book within a book, which I love.
